EXPLANATION
The Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant Program was created to support the
California Department of Transportation's (Caltrans') Mission to, "Provide a safe,
sustainable, integrated and efficient transportation system to enhance California's
economy and livability." The program focuses on supporting projects that demonstrate
the ability to achieve the following transportation planning goals:
1. Improve Multimodal Mobility and Accessibility for All People: Expand the
system and enhance modal choices and connectivity to meet the State's future
transportation demands.
2. Preserve the Multimodal Transportation System: Maintain, manage, and
efficiently utilize California's existing transportation system.
3. Support a Vibrant Economy: Maintain, manage, and enhance the movement of
goods and people to spur the economic development and growth, job creation,
and trade.
4. Improve Public Safety and Security: Ensure the safety and security of people,
goods, services, and information in all modes of transportation.
5. Foster Livable and Healthy Communities and Promote Social Equity: Find
transportation solutions that balance and integrate community values with
transportation safety and performance, and encourage public involvement in
transportation decisions.
6. Practice Environmental Stewardship: Plan and provide transportation services
while protecting our environment, wildlife, historical, and cultural assets.
Staff seeks City Council authorization to file an application for Sustainable
Transportation Planning Grant Program funds through Caltrans for National City's
INTRA-Connect project (Integrating Neighborhoods with Transportation Routes for All)
in the amount of $230,000.
The INTRA-Connect project expands upon National City's SMART Foundation Plan
(Safe Multi -modal Accessible Routes To...transit, schools, parks, shops, services and
recreation), which identified infrastructure enhancements to encourage multi -modal
transportation in National City, by taking a comprehensive and integrated look at Smart
Growth Planning, Smart Mobility and Smart Parking elements. This strategic approach
will further support infill development as well as localize self-supporting neighborhoods
that keep vehicular miles traveled (VMT) down, thereby reducing greenhouse gas
(GHG) emissions and VMT, simultaneously.
A central focus of this project will be the concept of 10-minute "walk neighborhoods,"
10-minute "drive communities" and 10-minutes to "transit connections." The 10-minute
concept will encourage more compact development, enhance transit use, increase
multi -modal transportation, reduce the distance and time people need to travel, and
subsequently, reduce GHG emissions.
The project will maximize developable infill opportunities while taking a comprehensive
approach to reviewing the City's street classification standards, including an analysis of
the current community corridor network, creating additional definitions of sub -categories
of street typology for all community corridors, and standardizing transportation
amenities and street guidelines.
The final plan will produce a framework of active transportation strategies, overview of
street classifications and design standards, refinement of community corridors,
development of priority projects including conceptual designs and preliminary cost
estimates, identification of infill investment areas, and potential changes in land use and
intensity.
Staff has partnered with Circulate San Diego and KTU+A, through existing on -call
contracts, to prepare the application and assist staff with project implementation if grant
funds are awarded. The grant does require a local match. Staff recommends
committing to a $70,000 local match, which will result in a $300,000 project. The local
match amount of $70,000 has already been appropriated through the General Fund and
has been programmed for use with these two consultant firms to assist with active
transportation planning. Therefore, we would simply be leveraging these efforts
towards the grant.
Staff also recommends authorizing the City Manager to execute the grant agreement
with Caltrans, if selected for grant award, to expedite Caltrans' ability to issue a Notice
to Proceed.
If grant funds are awarded, staff will return to City Council to request appropriation of
the grant funds and provide a timeline for the project, including community outreach
efforts.
